Weather Blog: Mild temperatures make a comeback

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! The weekend forecast includes a few showers and the start of a warming trend. In today's blog we discuss when you will need to dodge raindrops, and when warmer 70s return to the area.

Just a quick reminder to get started that you can receive weather updates throughout the day by following me on Twitter @jnelsonweatherand liking the Wisconsin Weather Updates Facebook page.

A few showers enter the weekend forecast by Saturday afternoon and early evening. If you have outdoor plans this afternoon keep an umbrella on standby. Futurecast below shows isolated to widely scattered showers(in the green color) at 4pm.

As the sun sets the threat for showers will fade away this evening. Looks for another chilly night with 30s inland and lows around 40 near the lake.

Sunday is clearly the pick day of the weekend. More sunshine and milder temperatures. Highs return to the 60s across the state, and even low 70s in the Twin Cities!

The warmest weather over the next week rolls in on Tuesday and Wednesday with highs jumping to the 70s. As the warmer temperatures push north a chance of showers and thunderstorms enter the forecast Monday night and Tuesday.

Have a great weekend and remember to Tweet me your forecast questions anytime @jnelsonweather
